“You are more than now;
You are for always.
I can see in you
My dreams come true.

There's nothing I can't do.
And when I hold you,
I only want to say
I love you.”

“I feel that very rarely have I done any work in my life. I have a good time. I'm exploring. I'm playing a game, solving puzzles, and having fun, and for some reason people have been willing to pay me for it. Officially, I was supposed to retire years ago, but retire from what? Why stop having a good time?”
